Earl Thomas, Richard Bradford, James Speed
Public Present: Susan Waldrop, Hilda Winecoff, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Perry
Staff Present: Margaret Hauth, Planning Director
Olson called the meeting to order at 6:30 PM
ITEM #1: Hauth noted that Ms. Waldrop was present to discuss a possible text amendment.
The members agreed to add an item 3a.
ITEM #2: Hauth provided a copy of the 1994 activities report for information. Olson
presented certificates of Appreciation to Wayne Tilley and Sam Jones for many
years of service on the board. The members thanked their colleagues and wished
them well. The election of a vice -chair was delayed until next month. Committee
reports were provided.
ITEM #3: Olson moved to approve the minutes from the April meeting, April public
hearing, May meeting, June meeting and August meeting. Taylor seconded the
motion.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #3 a: Ms. Waldrop asked the board to consider a text amendment to remove some of
the restrictions on the conditional Use Permit process for select historic homes.
She noted the restrictions are making marketing to the dwellings for non-
residential use difficult. She noted her client property owner was present. The
members agreed to discuss the topic in detail at the March meeting.
ITEM #4: Final Subdivision Plat for Magnolia Place
Hauth walked the members through the checklist items and indicated the request
was complete.
MOTION: Shannon moved to approve the final plat with the option that Orange County
continues to hold the guarantee funds. Taylor seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #5: Hauth walked the members through a discussion of draft requirements for
temporary uses like carnivals and Christmas tree sales. The members discussed
parking requirements, public safety, animal control and pedestrian access and
egress.
ITEM #6: Hauth discussed the zoning options for the developed portion of Cornwallis Hills
that was in the process of being annexed via involuntary process. She noted that
not accommodating the existing development pattern would create non-
conformities when the annexation was effective. The members discussed the
options.
MOTION: Speed moved to pursue option 2 — amending the side setback requirement for the
R-15 district. Tilley seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #7: The members discussed a memo from the Town Attorney detailing potential text
amendments to create a Planned Unit Development district and process. The
members suggested some effort be made to keep combustion engines away from
open space, that sidewalks should be required to connect to the common and
recreation spaces and that a 5% flexibility factor be added as the project moved
from Master Plan to development plan. The members tabled this discussion for a
future meeting.
ITEM #8: The members reviewed and discussed the provisions of the proposed Economic
Development District as it would apply in the town's jurisdiction if the town
continued its cooperative process with Orange County. The text needs to be
scheduled for public hearing to be adopted by reference in the zoning ordinance.
ITEM #9: Hauth provided the department work plan for information.
The meeting was adj ourned at 8:10 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Margaret K. Hauth, Secretary
